I did order a needlepoint kit on Amazon. That was 2 months ago. I still don't have it. It's coming from Great Britain. That was not clear to me when I placed the order. Anyway, that's not really a "new" hobby.
What have I been doing? My usual stuff. Cooking, cleaning, riding my my stationary bike. (I can read while I ride. More on that later.)
Things are different though. Josh is working from home. We don't have a separate office space. It's the study/office/lounge area. And he has multiple conference calls each day. That means loud chores, like vacuuming, have to happen on weekends or in the evening. Or using my food processor has to be carefully orchestrated.
It's okay. I still like him and on evenings when it's not too warm wet a walk together. Which is good for both of us.
Actually, that leads to what I have mostly been doing during this pandemic. Where many people are experiencing the Covid 15, I've actually lost more than 20 lbs! I'm doing WW again and am more committed this time. Josh calls it the gamification of weightloss. I think he's right! I get x number of "tokens" each day. I can earn more and I get "gold stars" for playing well.
I've been doing this since January. I didn't incorporate exercise till April. Usually my exercise is riding my bike. As I mentioned at the outset, I can read while I ride. I'm not doing anything crazy like Peleton. It's just a recumbant bike. So I've read the Sherlock Holmes stories. Really enjoyed The Other Alcott (until the end, but no spoilers from me). I've read 3 or 4 others as well.
So that's what's up with you? How are you coping with these always changing circumstances.
